If it matters that much to you I have an old stamp from a garage that closed down you can use to stamp up a book you bought from eBay? It's about what a "full service history" is worth if you're relying on stamps in a book anyway.

I am always of the opinion that without an invoice to back up the work (and sometimes even then) any stamp or claim of servicing is nice to have but not really valuable. I've known enough people in the trade to fake service history when selling on a car to buy entirely on condition when you're looking at the decade old end of the market biggrin
Thank you kindly for the offer, however it's only fair I let you hang onto the stamp should you need it in the near future ; )

What did the Dealership say when you contacted them?

Neither invoice match the service book. 'See invoice' was written in the service book where it should have been stamped by the guy we bought the car from. The following stamp in the book is from the garage we bought the car from.

Could be a genuine mix-up, however it is clear the service history is now missing for the car - which I'm pretty sure was advertised as having full service history. I will call AT in the morning and see if they can confirm this.
I don't see why this should be a problem when selling the car. You didn't notice - why would anyone else?

This isn't something I would be comfortable doing.
